Hi everyone.  I hope everything is going well.  I have a question you.  Using your religion book look the answer to this question and comment back to me.  What are the four marks of the church?

Miss Peters's March 18th Check In

Hello 3rd Graders!

It is definitely different not seeing you at school! Miss you dearly already. Has anyone completed any of the fun St. Patrick's items that were sent home on Monday? Remember these are just for fun and do not have to be returned back to me, with the exception of the Pictograph worksheet. Once you have finished that one either send me a picture of it through email or bring it back to school so I can see how you did on it.

Have any of you started with your science project yet? How are they going? Learning lots of information about your planet? Comment in the comments section or email me to update me on how the projects are going.

Science Project 
Each student chose a planet to research. Below is a list of the planet they chose; if they were absent on Monday I assigned a planet for them.
Nick- Earth
Journey- Mercury
Ella- Venus
Onnie- Saturn
Iley- Mars
Jackson- Uranus
Maximo-Pluto
Elliot- Jupiter
Evelyn- Neptune

*If the links don't work let me know so I can email them to you. I've never tried posting a link before; first time for everything.*

As of now projects are due April 6th; keep watching for a later date. I'll let you know how you will have to present if we have to do it online. As of right now that is how it is looking.

*A note for 3rd graders and Parents*
I've been trying to work ahead and get a Google Classroom started. I have been successful (hopefully; fingers crossed) in creating an assignment that I would like you to respond to so I can see if it works or not. I've just started trying it out so I'm not sure how it will go. I'll email all parents the class code so you can join Miss Peters's 3rd Grade Google Classroom. Try to do this as soon as possible so I know if it works. Thank you! :)

Have a wonderful evening, continue to work hard, and enjoy the extra family time!

Best wishes,

Miss Peters

Good morning,  I miss all of you already.  How is your reading going for your book report?  Have you learned anything interesting about your person?  Share what you have learned so far using the comment section.

I want you to keep up your reading skills.  Read on Raz each day and do the quiz.  I will be checking Raz to see how you are doing.
February

Religion:

We are  preparing for Lent.  The students have decided what they are going to do for Lent and have written it in their cocoon and placed the cocoon on the tree on our religion board.  Hopefully our sacrifices during Lent will turn into beautiful butterflies, a sign of new life in Jesus.

December

Time sure flies when we're having fun, 2019 is almost done!

December has been a very busy month! We had play practice many times a week and last night the kids finally showed off their hard work. They all did an excellent job! Today we will celebrate with the Christmas movie, Klaus, and a little Christmas cheer before our Christmas break!

During December we continued working on multiplication in math; we will continue with this in the new year. Shortly after we will dive into Division.

In the afternoons we created projects for each of the countries the students visited in the morning for our Christmas Around the World Unit.

For Science and Social Studies we read a couple Scholastic News Articles. When we get back from break we will start a Landforms Unit.

*Sorry for the late posting on this post. I completely forgot to submit it to the blog.*

January 2020

MATH
We have finished the introduction chapters of Multiplication and have started the introduction chapters of Division. Students will continue to complete Sweet Treat Multiplication quizzes. Students will complete quizzes up to x12; after they finish x12 they have the option of going up to x15 or switching to division quizzes.

SCIENCE
We have been learning about the world's landforms and natural hazards. We will be doing an experiment to show how erosion works as well as watching a volcano eruption.

SOCIAL STUDIES
We are learning more information about the world's landforms and about different communities in our world.

ART
Students created a silhouette snow-globe of pine trees by using white chalk on black construction paper. The outside of the snow-globe was to be "pulled" to create a white snow-dusting background.

To help cheer on the Packers we had a Packer Party! As a class we created paper cheese heads, the students created Packer Songs to tunes of well-known Christmas songs, and they had a dance party to different songs that were recreated to Packer style. Many of the students brought in yummy treats or juice for the class to snack on during the party.

October 7-November 22

MATH
In Math we finished the Addition and Subtraction chapters. This week we started Multiplication. to help the students learn and memorize their multiplication facts they will be given a multiplication "flip-book," multiplication wheels, a multiplication chart to fill in, and they will complete Multiplication Times Facts, which is a timed test. After completing each quiz with correct answer, students will receive an ice cream scoop to hang up for their achievements.

SCIENCE
We have learned many things about animals. We discussed biomes and habitats, vertibrates vs. invertibrates, the different types of animal groups, animal adaptations, behaviors, and food chains. To conclude our animal unit each student had to choose an animal, research it, and create a final project to present to the class. Each student did a great job on their project! All projects are now displayed above their lockers.

Animal Projects
Seahorse
Cheetah
Komodo Dragon
African Penguin
Green Sea Turtle  
Bobcat
Arctic Fox
African Forest Elephant
Okapi

SOCIAL STUDIES
We are coming to the end of our Maps Unit. In this unit we learned about the 7 continents of the world (Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctic, Europe, and Australia) and the 5 oceans of the world (Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic, Indian, and Southern Oceans), the parts of a map, and the different types of maps we use.
